Hoffman has signed the 9/12 Candidates Pledge, which is this:

I pledge my sacred honor to representing my constituents
by upholding these principles and values.

9 principles

1. America is Good.
2. I believe in God. He is the center of my life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

9. The government works for the people. The people do not answer to the government; the government answers to the people.
